Lesson 4.2 Measures of Length
Objectives:
⢠Measure objects according to appropriate
unit of linear measure.
⢠Convert common units of length from
larger to smaller unit and vice versa.
⢠Length ishow long something is.
⢠We use different devices to measure
lengths such as the ruler, meter stick and
tape measure.
⢠Meter(m) is the standard unit of length in
the metric system.
⢠We use units related to meter for shorter
lengths, namely millimeter (mm),
centimeter (cm), and decimeter (dm).
⢠We use kilometer(km) for long distances.
Conversion Facts (Length)
⢠1 km = 1000m
⢠1 m = 1 000mm
⢠1 m = 100 cm
⢠1 m =10 dm
⢠1 dm = 10 cm
⢠1 cm = 10 mm
